Why not shoot steel?
I have a 12 gauge A-5 (Belgium made gold trigger) that I got from my paw-paw. I've been shooting steel for 3 years now. no problems so far. Gun does me no good sitting in the closet.

The barrels were not designed for steel shot(didn't exist when they were made) and the steel is softer than the steel used in barrels today. Using a full choke in an old barrel is even worse...
